1921. O'Neill won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1936, and
Pulitzer Prizes for four of his plays. O'Neill is credited with
raising American dramatic theater from its narrow origins to an art
form respected around the world. He is regarded as America's
premier playwright. O'Neill's career as a playwright consisted of
three periods. His early realist plays utilize his own experiences,
especially as a seaman. In the 1920s he rejected realism in an
effort to capture on the stage the forces behind human life. His
expressionistic plays during this period were influenced by the
ideas of philosopher Freidrich Nietzsche, psychologists Sigmund
Freud and Carl Jung, and Swedish playwright August Strindberg.
During his final period O'Neill returned to realism. These later
works, which most critics consider his best, depend on his life
experiences for their story lines and themes. This volume contains
three of his plays. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we
reproduced, some pages may be spotty or faded.
